Why is it so infectious to hear when Shelby gets excited
I love how you TH-camrs help each other out.
Druaga1 called. He'd like a word on those SSDs. 🤣
It’s awesome you got a TAM in your possession even though I remember seeing a TAM in your booth during LTX19!
That was Disappearing Inc.'s TAM. The booth was split between me and them.
@@TechTangents When you called it a Twentieth Anniversary Mac I assumed it was the 20th anniversary of the Mac, in 2004. Then you pulled out the Mac OS 8 manual, and I realized it's 20th anniversary of Apple.
The pen is probably the most rarest thing in the box for the TAM
I remember once upon a time in the 1990s, our Farmer Jack store had one or two touchscreen kiosks. You walked up to it, typed the item you were looking for on the virtual keyboard that came up on the screen, and it told you and showed you (I think on an ASCII map of the store) where that item was. Wish I had pictures or video of that.
I also remember in the early 90s a touch screen kiosk in a pharmacy in a department store. You could search medical terms like an ailment, such as warts, or a system of the body, such as the cardiovascular system, and it would have an article like a medical encyclopedia. You could then print the article for free and the pages would come out of a slot in the kiosk. This is how we looked these things up before Mayo Clinic or WebMD.
Shelby, you will love that tape library, once it is up and running. I have a PowerVault TL2000 with two LTO4 drives and it has become indispensable in my homelab. I take the tapes to work for an offsite backup. Enjoy!
I have a PowerVault TL2000 as well that I picked up for about £30 second-hand. I don't have a use for it but love Dell and enterprise stuff.
Woah that anniversary Mac is amazing.
The video printers I'm most familiar with are the ones Sony once made which were dye sublimation printers (and are still found occasionally in the medical field).
The only time I ever saw those pull-out Mitsumi CD-ROM drives was in a Radio Shack store.
the Epson board is an HX-20 mother board, it was considered the first ever laptop made. it is a single board computer with a built in micro-printer. the aux jacks are for connecting a tape-recorder to store basic programs. I know this because i have 4 HX-20s lol
Dude that pentium sign is awesome!
I’m excited to see what comes out next!
I would really enjoy to see a video on how your going to setup/configure and use all of that storage hardware. (Servers, SSDs, LTO drives)
The robot that lives in the tape library has all the makings of a TH-cam star
YOU GOT A FREE TAM??????? UGHHH ENVYYYYY
Also, just get a SSD slot load bay to replace the CD drive on the server, so you dont have to mess with the trays for the camera drives.
That server is better than the rubbish we have to use at work!
DAMMIT!... lol I was gonna start doing my own retro vids on the YT and the 200LX was gonna be the first outta the gate for me, and here you are ready to beat me to it! :P (not like 100's of other haven't done it already!) I JUST got my 200LX I'm waiting on PCMCIA cards and adapters and junk. Such a cool machine.
If you get a moment, go find the 200LX scsi videos here on yt... it's rather wild... I doubt either of us could top that guys setup!
That HP server is a boat anchor that will suck more power than you can count. I recommend hanging the drive shelves off a more modern system if you want to lower your cooling and power bill.
That touchscreen is pretty cool, and must've been super expensive back in the day. I worked at a company that sold touchscreen kiosks back in the mid-2000s, and the screens were _very_ expensive. I'm talking >$2,000 Aussie dollary doos for a 17" LCD. So a touchscreen for a 17" CRT must've been crazy expensive!
Our application had users writing on the screen with a stylus, so we would get the occasional old lady with a massive diamond ring who'd wrest their hand on the screen as they're writing and leave a huge scratch, destroying the digitiser. Let's just say those were not fun to replace, it was much quicker and easier to swap out the entire screen module and just send the dead one back for repair.
Pretty sure it would just be held on with double-sided tape, that's all they used for the digitiser on the LCDs. The thin tape style rather than the foam backed stuff. Spacers for the tube mount points may not be necessary, but it depends on how much the digitiser can handle compression. It's most likely a resistive digitiser, so it's probably not good to put too much pressure even just on the edges. Could slightly bow the glass if the curve isn't a perfect match, causing it to trigger the touch sensor.
I remember once upon a time in the 1990s, our Farmer Jack store had one or two touchscreen kiosks. You walked up to it, typed the item you were looking for on the virtual keyboard that came up on the screen, and it told you and showed you (I think on an ASCII map of the store) where that item was. Wish I had pictures or video of that.
I remember when those Mitsumi CD-ROM drives came out. Weird tray, but cheaper than everyone else.
LGR just go so jelly watching you unbox that funky CD rom drive. hahahaha
You very Very VERY lucky man. Congratulations
That face peeking out from behind the stack!
Great unboxing! Would love to see videos on the HP Palmtop and the Tam! That HP server is so freaking cool btw!😁🖒
those early cd rom drives have excellent cd audio playback.
Awesome!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the TT projects from some of this stuff! 💪 Yeah!
The original 1x CD ROMs had a separate CD and audio card. From memory, the 2x and later became IDE drives.
Shelby and Adrian of the Digital Basement is long distance bromance I never knew I needed, but I totally do.
Now get Big Clive in the mix.....
Your little HP handheld DOS PC reminded me I had something similar. It's a Compaq Windows CE device with a Hitachi SH-3 CPU... I tossed batteries into it, and have been playing solitaire on it for hours now! LOL
Also, _Welcome to the TAM club!_ They really are neat Macs! Can't wait to see what you do with yours!
I honestly wish optical drives kept caddies. Optical media was pretty delicate long term.
after each mail video there is a feeling like.. dude, you need a bigger office :D
Glad you got that CD-ROM drive from Adrian Black. He has been known to part things out rather than keep them, so now it is safe.
This program is made possible by IBM, TH-cam, and by viewers like *you*.
I had a MacTV, that I very stupidly threw away years ago. In my defense, it was a long time ago, and it was free, bulky, and fairly useless to me at the time. Mine did have the "credit card sized" remote. Weird that that there would be more than one variant of this computer given that it had such a short production run.
OMG so many SSDs, I want one pls. 😂😂
Thanks for the video :^) Could you share a full view of the globe?
omg the Pentium 4 sign lmao
does Topre count as mechanical? weren't HHKs always Topre?
I believe the first gen were not topre
Time for Kioxia to sponsor every slot in that beast of a server.
You kind of sounded like Mrs. Doubtfire at the beginning.
“Hello there!” :)
oh neat a HHKB 1:09, topre is some good stuff.
Ok, now I want to get a house boat, "drive" over to the Bermuda Triangle and mail Shelby something from there. Just so he has to add another pin there 😛
Or Null island
also next time round you probably will be unboxing a data general laptop to go with the bag
I have an HP 95LX and I think you need to load a special driver for the CF card to work.
You channel is right up my alley with tech stuff. Just found you and binging but thought I'd let you know you content stood out to someone out there. Keep up the tinkering and enginerding.
Given that LTO5 stores 1.5 TB uncompressed / 3 TB compressed, you might get two or three 1 TB videos stored on one LTO5 tape if you can capitalize on any compression. I recall LTO4 having 800 GB uncompressed / 1.6 TB compressed, maybe fitting a smaller video? It's been a while since I worked with LTO backups, though.
Every time I've looked into LTO for video I read the same thing, that it isn't able to add any more compression to it when writing it. The LTO compression happens always and automatically when you write the tape which is why the size is "variable". But the entire purpose of every video codec is to try and compress video files as much as they can at a lossy data level. There really isn't any wasted space left to get back or the data formats would do it. You can try this yourself as well, just zip, rar, bz2, etc any video file and you'll see that the file size doesn't really change at all.
@@TechTangents In some regards, it seems analogous to a much older scenario: I'd take screen shots on an old Win 3.1 machine, but the built in bitmap format took up a huge amount of space (relative for its time of course.) Paintbrush had the option to save as a compressed pcx (which was supposed to be lossless, but didn't always preserve the palette properly) or I could zip the original bitmap. It generally varied as to which method of compression saved more space, so I often made a habit of trying each method individually, keeping the smaller one, and deleting the larger one and original bitmap as needed.
Even when I'd try to tweak things further later on (such as saving in 16-color formats vs. 256-color formats, or using 3rd party software for another format like gif), I'd come across oddities where zipping a 256-color bitmap was smaller than zipping the same thing in 16-color format, despite using no more than 16 colors in the first place!
Your scenario is of course orders of magnitude larger, so it might turn out that LTO compression of the original uncompressed video file saves more space than backing up compressed formats, as weird as it sounds at first glance. YMMV.
Not a Keyboard Collector. You heard it here first people. Same as he dosen't collect phones.
Don't update Wikipedia! That remote works with the macTV, but the original remote was a credit card remote. They're incredibly rare (most probably became separated from the machine - who expected a remote to work with a computer back then?). I have a post on TinkerDifferent about remote options. The original was a Sony remote, rebranded for Apple as RMC-A1. You can get a similar Sony remote to work with it, model number Sony RM-K1T. Unfortunately, the Sony remote doesn't have CD player controls.
Also, word of warning on the TAM. The CD door has two very flimsy arms holding it at the bottom. Be careful not to bump it downward when it is open...
That black remote was for the TAM? The one I showed next to the Mac TV is what I got with it, interesting. I'll have to look through the TAM box as well to see what is in there.
I found that thread you mentioned, man that original remote looks like every car stereo remote from the era. Good to know though!
Why not put the totally anonymous person on Null Island?
Awesome SSD's
Greetings Shelby ;)
Who in the actual hell, gives away an extremely rare Mac worth thousands to somebody, for free? Unless these are not as rare as I thought
Get an Atomos Ninja V and you can just plug those SSDs directly into the back and record in whatever bitrate, depth, and format you want.
my first cd-rom drive was mitsumi drive like that
Can someone make a list of what Shelby got . in order. thanks
6:00 are these a donation from druaga1? :D
I have a 200lx, there is a weird method that seems to work if the CF card is one that will work where you close all of the preloaded apps, then in the built in file manager you get that to format the card... I have a spare 64mb I can prepare and post to you also
its mailcall 12 now? I tought there where more
Using Google drive. Are you sure? Who knows, you see this message in the future. "Dear user. We see that you want to access {filename}. According our log you didn't touch it for {x} months. For your convenience, we deleted it for you so you don't have to do it."
I did hear a game from a gamer was deleted because, according their system, it was "an illegal" copy. Who knows it deletes also files when their system scan sees a "virus" or when it is older than several months.
So i have a question, do you planing to get a sgi
man get some g rack shelving. itl change your life.
non-server-grade SSDs like to fail fast in storage servers. please make backups / or don't put critical stuff on them
My man seems stressed. Like he has too much going on and needs to slow down a bit.
i wish i could afford even a modern HHKB 😭 i need to try and get the money for one somehow, but i’m currently unemployed. always wanted to try topre capacitives
oh wow and ssds too? jeez i wish i had the means to become a youtuber! do review blogs ever still get traffic?
20:22 a similar board is mentioned by eevblog in one of his Pc/104 videos, name and link below

NOOOOOOOO You lucky B star td... UGH... RTeally HHKB Gen 1 Yo....
Sorry literally can't contain myself.
A new HHK gen 1 goes for $230 on Ebay... lucky bastard!
You need to reach out to Mac84 if you need some Apple Mac Help
A TAM! after the Mac TV I thought that was the big one. WOW
I'm confused. the server has sas drives and you want to replace them with SATA SSD 's? As far as I know that doesn't work. Maybe in some cases where the sas controller supports SATA too, but i thought that unlikely in those hp servers. Then again I might misunderstood something in the video and the 20 disk storage enclosure is actually sata or the SSD's are SAS. What i do know for sure that what you got is a very power hungry setup. The main reason to put those things away. The power performance ratio is not that good anymore. And with rising energy prices that is no good.
All SAS controllers and backplanes are backwards-compatible with SATA, so you can run SAS or SATA drives on them. Not the other way around, though, so you can't run SAS drives from a SATA controller.
